Almond Waffles with Fresh Strawberries, Rose Petal Jam, Whipped Crème Fraîche, Lemon Zest, Sugar-Free Honey

Light and tender waffles get a textural and nutritional boost from a bit of protein powder. These are flavored with almond, which pairs well with sweet and tart strawberries, a floral rose jam, and a sweet, tangy, and rich whipped crème fraîche. Feel free to swap this for regular whipped cream or coconut whipped cream for dairy-free. Yogurt makes an excellent version too. A few sliced toasted almonds would be a great addition. Inspired by the restaurant Mints and Honey.
